Scott, 43, was shot Tuesday at an apartment complex on the city's northeast side. Police said Scott refused repeated demands to drop his gun. Scott's family quickly challenged the police account of the fatal shooting, saying he was not armed and that Scott, a father of seven, was holding a book and waiting for his son to be dropped off from school.

"Right now, this family is in deep mourning," Bamberg. "They lack the answers to bring closure to their lives," said one of the family's lawyers.

The Scott family legal team told the media that they plan to investigate the shooting to make sure officers' actions were lawful. The family will reportedly view the video of the shooting sometime Thursday."Quite frankly, we don't know what's on the video," Bamberg said. "We know what law enforcement says is on the video."
